I've been smoking for almost 5 years and now it's been a month since I quit. What kind of withdrawal symptoms might I be experiencing at this point? I'm just a bit worried and want to know what to expect.

View allI'm having trouble breathing sometimes, and it's really hard to inhale. I start feeling suffocated, and when I try to breathe through my mouth, I end up with a severe headache and feel dizzy. There are times when I even feel sort of partially paralyzed. What's going on with me?
take steam inhalation

I'm experiencing some issues with my breathing, especially when I go up the stairs. It feels like I'm getting out of breath really quickly. Can you tell me what test I should get to figure out what's going on?
The test you may need is called Pulmonary Function Test (PFT). This test can help evaluate how well your lungs are working and identify any breathing problems. In the meantime, you can use a bronchodilator inhaler like Ventolin (albuterol) as needed for relief. The usual dosage is 1-2 puffs every 4-6 hours as needed for shortness of breath.

My mom's dealing with some serious breathing issues. She was hospitalized with a chest infection and her lungs are all bloated. They found pseudomonas in her blood culture and she was on Pepar IV three times a day for 10 days, plus steroids, Budamate, and Duolin nebulizers. Even after all that, she's still having trouble breathing and the infections getting worse. After she was discharged, they put her on Linezolid 600 for five days, but it didn't help. Now they've suggested we keep an oxygen cylinder at home because of her breathing problems. Is there anything we can do to keep her oxygen level above 90 without the cylinder at home? Shes also dealing with CKD, thyroid issues, diabetes, and vasculitis. She's currently on a bunch of meds like Pulmoclear, Montair Fx, MMF, Wyslone, Amlip, Aztor, Human Actrapid, Lantus, Erythropoietin, Budamate inhaler, and Dytor. Any guidance would be really appreciated.
